This updated gourmet kitchen features dual wall ovens, Corian countertops with double stainless-steel sinks, a stainless-steel dishwasher, a Subzero paneled refrigerator, and a gas cooktop with a stainless-steel hood venting directly outside. Adjacent to the kitchen, the mudroom connects to the attached two-car garage, providing practical convenience. To the right of the foyer, you’ll find a stylish powder room and a comfortable den with built-in cabinetry. The second floor reveals a luxurious primary bedroom complete with an updated en-suite bathroom and two closets, plus a versatile space for a home office or sitting area. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bathroom, while the fourth bedroom serves as a guest room with its own en-suite. One bedroom is currently utilized as a home office, and rest assured, hardwood flooring lies beneath the carpet. Descend the staircase to discover the expansive finished lower level, featuring a large gas fireplace and built-in cabinets, and ample storage. A dedicated room for a pool table leads to a workshop and hidden walk-in wine cellar, along with a second powder room and a laundry room equipped with a laundry chute.
